NEW SUNSPOT: Breaking a string of 11 spotless days, a new sunspot group is growing in the sun's southern hemisphere. [link to spaceweather.com] So far the emerging dark cores are small and quiet, not crackling with flares. This is typical of solar minimum sunspots.

SOLAR WIND, INCOMING: A long, narrow hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is spewing high-speed solar wind into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the fissure on Aug. 13th pointing directly at Earth: [link to spaceweather.com]

Solar wind emerging from the hole is expected to reach Earth on Aug. 16th and 17th.

The incoming stream of solar wind may be preceded by a CIR (co-rotating interaction region). CIRs are transition zones between slow- and fast-moving solar wind. They often contain shock-like density gradients and strong magnetic fields that do a good job sparking auroras.

Doing ok - the soreness has gone, but the knee is still really black & blue! Glad I wear pants all the time!
Thanks for asking!

Been really tired from getting slammed at work. We are a week out from a MAJOR audit by the banking commission. Glad I've only been there a few months - none of the problems will land at my feet this time. And not sure I'll be there next year for the next audit. This is a really high-stress job, and while I can do the work, I'm just not wanting to continue to try to function in such a high-stress environment every day.

Grandson continues to make progress...still have to find him an AA group to go to. I'm going to find an AlAnon for me.

Sure seems like this has been a summer of bad extremes - fires, floods, earthquakes, droughts, heat...jeez!

Hope everyone is having a decent week...we're almost over the hump, folks! On the downhill slide to the weekend!!!!

Everything seems to be going good over there, except for your job. I totally get it. My job is also high stress and exhausting. I hope you're able to find something else that's less high strung.

Happy to hear your knee is no longer sore and that your grandson continues to make progress! : )

I have, in fact, wondered, why there?? That's a $64,000 question! (Not that I'm paying...)

I hate to hear about you and Isis having flood issues. Went through that back in 1979 - lived in a house near a bayou. House was up on 8 ft pilings, thank goodness cuz we had about 4.5 ft of water under the house! Flooded the laundry room, floated the freezer & ruined all the seafood we had in it. Lost some things we were storing downstairs. But it was still a mess to clean up! But no water in the upstairs, thank goodness.

Hope the worst of the water issues are over for you both!!!

I need to grab a quick bite to eat and get ready for bed. I'm bushed! Hope all are doing well - haven't seen anything from Curious for a bit. Probably working hard!

Thanks to everyone who helps keep the info coming - and to everyone else who takes the time to post such funny/interesting stuff!

Oh yeah - did ya'll hear the news reports of that tall bridge in Italy that collapsed today because of a bad storm?? Heard on the news that 11 or 12 cars fell 330 feet!! Think it might have been that relatively new, tall, winding bridge that was constructed in the mountains. I need to go look for a news update...see if it's the one I'm thinking of. How absolutely horrible!!!!

EDIT: news reports say the cars fell about 140' - still not good! as many as 30 dead at last reports. And no, it wasn't the bridge I was thinking of. This one has been around quite a while.

Yes, so sad. When I first woke up this morning the news was saying 11 dead. By the time I got out of the shower it was 22 dead. Literally doubled in the time I showered. : (
